No, you cannot tow a Kia Sportage on a two-wheel dolly without risking damage. Most Kia Sportage models have a front-wheel-drive system, and towing them with the front wheels on a dolly can cause transmission and drivetrain issues. It's recommended to use a flat tow system or a flatbed trailer for towing. Always consult the owner's manual for specific towing guidelines.
NO, Get you a dolly. towing longer trips will tear up the transmission,with the frount wheels on the ground.
The best way would be to remove the drive shaft from the vehicle before towing. Many transmissions do not circulate the transmission oil or fluid unless the engine is running. Removing the drive shaft will keep the rear output on the transmission from turning while towing it.
A 2010 Ford Explorer can be dolly towed, but it's important to consider the specific drivetrain and transmission type. If it has an all-wheel drive (AWD) system, towing it on a dolly is not recommended, as it may cause damage to the drivetrain. However, if it's a rear-wheel drive (RWD) model, it can typically be towed with the front wheels on the dolly. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional for the best towing practices for your specific vehicle.
Yes, you can tow a 2-wheel drive Jeep, but it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe towing.

Always consult the owner's manual for specific towing instructions and weight limits.

Yes, you can use a tow dolly to tow a BMW Z3 with a manual transmission, but it's essential to ensure that the rear wheels are off the ground. This prevents potential damage to the transmission and drivetrain, as the rear wheels would otherwise rotate while being towed. Always check the vehicle's owner's manual for any specific towing guidelines or restrictions. Additionally, ensure that the tow dolly is rated for the weight of the Z3.

NO. You must put the front (drive) wheels on a tow dolly or trailer it. Toyota also states that you shouldn't tow it more than 50 miles or 30 MPH... but I think that's more for safety than because of damage to the car. It is recommended that the vehicle be towed by a flatbed towing vehicle or a tow dolly whenever possible. Automatic transmission fluid level must be in the hot temperature range on the dip stick. Vehicle should not be towed from the rear without using a towing dolly for the front wheels. If in an emergency situation towing with the front wheels on the ground is required, the key should be in the "ACC" position. Vehicle should have the park brake released and the transmission placed in the Neutral position. All-trac models should be towed with all four wheels off the ground. Vehicle should not be towed over 30 mph or more than 50 miles. Remember, towing on a tow dolly means the rear of the car is closer to the ground. Go slow on dips and bumps to prevent bottoming out the rear (and crushing a tailpipe).
